[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Gumi City, Gyeongbuk Province (Mayor Kim Jang-ho) is promoting publicity using local tax and water/sewerage bills to identify welfare blind spots and households in crisis.

The back of the local tax bill contains a message saying "Please inform us of households in need of help around you," along with a QR code for "Gumi Hope Talk" and contact information for reporting and inquiries such as the Health and Welfare Counseling Center and Bokjiro. On the back of the water/sewerage bill, there is a message stating "For crisis household discovery consultation and reporting, and emergency welfare support consultation, contact the Health and Welfare Counseling Center."

By collaborating with the Collection Division and the Water and Sewerage Office to include promotional messages for discovering welfare blind spots, there is the advantage of no additional promotional budget, and it is expected to greatly help find households in crisis around the community by encouraging citizen participation.

Efforts are also being made to provide warm tax administration by educating tax officials in the Collection Division and tax staff in eup, myeon, and dong offices to connect welfare officers when they discover households in crisis during the tax collection process.

An Jin-hee, head of the Welfare Policy Division, said, "We plan to strengthen communication with related departments and actively promote to citizens to ensure that no citizen misses the opportunity for support due to lack of awareness of the system, thereby implementing thorough welfare."
